THE LICENSE TAX.

County ]treasurers will be kept busy
collecting the license taxes which go
into effect to-day. The taxes impos-
ed are direct, and as such are likelyto
incur the hostility which such imposts
generally arouse. There are some
obvious defects in the law, which it is
hoped the legislature will remove at
the extra session. Among these is
the tax of 800 per quarter, Or $500
year, on commercial travellers. which
cannot be imposed on those from
other states, although our own
''drummers" are subject to it. In
the good time coming we hope to see
all licenses disappear, except those on
saloons and gambling houses. Such
is the case in Minnesota and most
commonwealth blessed with state
hood.

MONT4N1 BEEF.

The Rocky Mountain Husbandman
expects that this will be a good e
for the stock-raisers. It says: 1.-THE
beef market rules low, at present, yet
we have good hopes of better prices
this fall. We especially feel that
Montana beeves will bring a fair price.
There r several reasons for this.
We, in the first place, look for an i'm
provement IN the market. and. in the
second place, will put forth a finer lot
of cattle than have gone east since
the first shipments in the early DAYS
of the industry. Then there were
numerous steers four years old and
upwards, and they were fat and heavy
Last year many herds, and some
trains already started east, were turned
back, and we will have thousands of
full-grown steers to go to the sham
bles this year. In addition to this, the
grass is very luxuriant and the ranges
are not being worked, and the cattle
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1887-07-06

will have amost excellent opportunity
to fatten. In view Of this fact we ex-
pect to see Montana beef rate Al in
the Chicago market this fall, and, as
quality and weight always tells, it is
not unreasonable to expect much bet
ter prices than were realized a year
ago" It may be added that the stock
yards at St. Paul and Minneapolis
will render it needless to send our
steers to Chicago. This will reduce
the receipts in that market and help
to keep prices firm. We hope the
time is neal when it will pay to dis
tribute dressed beef from Great Falls,
as well as from Kansas City, whence
the twin cities are now largely sup
piled.

At this immense water-power, surround
ed, as it is, with an i~nexhaustible quantity
Of coal, iron and limestone, the ores Of the
precious metals can be treated at a less
cost per ton than at any other point on
this continent. 1t is the intention OF the
Great Falls Water Power u ToNnsite
Company to commence at once the erec-
ton Of works for reducing and refining
gold, silver and copper ores, and for the
manufacture Of iron and steel. This work
will be pushed to completion as rapidly
as possible, in conjunction with the de-
yelopment Of the water-poWer.

GREAT REELECTION WORhS.

It is now well understood that Mr..
James J.. Hill and associate capitalists
will commence works at the falls for
reducing and refining gold and silver
ores, Immediately on the completion
of the Manitoba railway to this place.
It is not, however, generally known
that these works are to be on a scale
Of great magnitude, and that their
construction VIII involve the e1pen-
diture Of a very large amount Of capt.
tai. It is Mr.. Hills intention to es-
tablish at the falls of the Missouri
the most extensive and complete
works on this continent for the treat
ment Of ores, and Great Falls is to be
made the northwestern center for this
industry, the same as Minneapolis has
been made. through its water-power
and money power, the western center
for the milling Of wheat.
At some eligible spot in this part Of
the west capital and enterprise can
create a great center for reducing the
ores of the precious metals. TIE re-
quisite capital and enterpriseto build
up such an industrial center are at
hand, and Great Falls appears to be
the point selected. Now, the only
question to be decided is, can the
business be carried on here to better
advantage than at any other place in
Or nea the Montana division of the
Rocky mountains. We answer most
emphatically that Great Falls is SUI
perior to all other places in the west
for this business:
|. Because it has an immense and
unfailing w~ater-power.
LII. Because it has an almost mex
haustible supply of coking coal, iron
I and limestone.
LII. Because, having an altitude Of
only $500 feet, the ore from all the
mining districts of a vast mineral
region can be delivered to it at the
lowest price per mile known to rail
road traffic.
Added to these advantages is the
fact that Great Falls is situated in
the center Of the best and most extern
sive agricultural portion Of Montana.
1t has been understood, for four or
five years past, that this place possess
ed unrivalled advantages for treating
the ores of the Rocky mountains, and
now the time is near at hand when
these advantages will contribute not
only to the benefit of Great Falls. but
to the prosperity and development Of
all Montana.

THE POPULATION INCREASING.

The present population of Great Falls is
about one thousand and is increasing rap
idly, although no effort has been made ty
the townsite company to induce people to
come here. The natural advantages of
Great Falls are such as to insure its be-
coming the greatest industrial center west
of Minneapolis; and as thousands of men
will find employment in its various indus
tries, its growth is sure to be rapid and
substantial. It will, mt no distant day. he
come the most populous city between the
Mississippi river and the Pacific ocean.

THE FLOUR INDUSTRY.

Not only will the wheat grown in
northern Montana be tributary to Great

with the wneat-fields of the Saskatchewan

A GOOD CLIMATE.

No climate is more healthful than that
of Montana. Although it occupies a high
latitude, its climate is SO influenced by
winds from the Pacific ocean that its mean
temperature in winter is about the same as
that Of Central Illinois. It has periods of
intense cold, but they are Of short dura-
ton. Though the weather is warm in
summer, the nights are rendered cool by
gentle mountain breezes.

ALL ABOUT E FALLS.
Facts for Our Visitors on the Fourth
The Growth and Prospects
of the City Briefly
Described.

The city of Great Falls, as our visitors,
may observe, is located beautifully at the
famous series Of cataracts of the Missouri,
at the junction of the latter river with
Sun river-one hundred miles north of
Helena and forty miles south of Fort Ben
ton, the head of navigation. 1t is sixty
miles from the main range of the Rockies,
forty miles from the Big Belt mountains,
all of which are rich in mineral resources.
1t is surrounded with picturesque scenery,
and occupies a natural townsite upon
broad, gentle. sloping bench-lands. 1t is
laid out with wide streets, and lots 80 by
$50 feet. A system Of parks and drives
has already beer inaugurated by planting
and maintaining trees along the entire
river line of the townsite. Over $1,000 600
will be expended here in improvements
during the present year. No town in the
west has started with such varied re-
sources, backed by unlimited capital.
A RAILROAD CENTER.
BY the 1st Of October next, Great Falls
will be the western terminus of the Saint
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railway,
and the eastern terminus of the Montana
Central; the former connecting it with
Lake Superior and Saint Paul and Min
neapolis, the latter with Helena, Butte,
Anaconda and other important mining
districts of the Rocky mountains. Another
road will also be built Immediately from
here southwest into the coal and iron
fields of Sand Coulee. This branch will

of the Belt mountains, thus making Great
Falls, at once, one of the most important
railroad centers in Montana. Here at
Great Falls will be erected the western
machine shops of the main line of the
Manitoba railroad.
VAST WATER-POWER.
The falls of the Missouri furnish the
Iarges available water-power on the on
tinent, estimated to be equal to at least
one million horse-powers. The bed of the
river is such as 10 guarantee absolute per-
manency of the water power, and the
sources of the Missouri are such that the
volume of water varies but slightly
throughout the year. Improvements upon
the falls are to be commenced immediate
Iy by the construction of dams and canals,
preparatory to the erection Of works for
reducing and refining the ores of this
country. The engineering work has al
ready been commenced under the super
vision of one of the most eminent hydrau-
lie engineers OF the day.

are especially adapted to the raising of
wheat, oats and barley without irrigation.
